Virginia’s first doses of COVID-19 vaccine, distributed and administered at hospitals across the state, were greeted with accolades and relief by health care providers, state leaders and a public that’s endured nearly 10 months of a deadly and disruptive global pandemic.
But neither the state Department of Health nor the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association, a key partner in distributing the vaccine, will disclose the names of the 18 hospital facilities that received the state’s initial doses or the health care systems to which they belong.
